Huckleberry's Bistro

My son-in-law planned a nice meal at Clinkerdagger after a ballet recital for a party of six seated (with children) at the waterfront.  Five hours before the reservation, he called to add more people to our party.  The host acknowledged &ldquo;the restaurant can accommodate the party of eleven if we could come in at 8pm&rdquo;.We showed up before 8pm and greeted by the host who recognized we had arrived and were waiting on another party to leave before our table was ready.  The host came out three times making the same statement, &lsquo;&rsquo; It is difficult to accommodate a large party in such a short notice&rsquo;&rsquo;.  I had my suspicions he was fabricating the story as a party of nine walked in without delay and several parties came out of the restaurant.  We were seated about 8:30pm.  The host told our party that when the weather was good, the restaurant was booked solid every day of the week.  I could not help noticing all the tables directly on the waterfront were empty the entire time we were at the restaurant, another fabrication by the host.  We could have been seated at the waterfront without a wait. The wait staff were polite and accommodated the children of the party.  The Shirley Temple&rsquo;s took time to gather due to running out of lids for the drinks, beer and wine took a long time.  After our orders were taken, our server came out to let us know they were out of bread and had to substitute with hamburger buns.  It took almost an hour before dinner was served!  One member of our party did not have her dinner as the chef forgot it&hellip;. I feel bad for our server who had to explain the issue, maybe the chef or host should have given the news.My potatoes were cold, scallops were hot (and delicious), and the asparagus was completely raw.  The potatoes were bland and no salt on the table. One member of the party had the pasta took two bites.  The pasta was dry and tasteless.  My question, is there a real chef cooking? Or were they just holding the food, waiting, who knows?
